Purpose

Stores a line spacing of n/72-inch increments.

where

n = 1 to 85 (all others are ignored)

Comment

When the ESC A control sequence is received, all line feed commands followĆ

ing an ESC 2 sequence* will be at n/72-inch line spacing until a new line spacĆ

ing is selected or power is reset. The control code line spacing selection will

override the control panel line spacing setting and the message display will

reflect the line spacing in lines per inch. For the 20/72-inch example below,

the message display would reflect 3.6 lpi spacing.

*The SFCC/ESC 2 sequence (page 6-48) asserts the line spacing which was

stored by the preceding SFCC/ESC A sequence.

Small values of n may result in overlapping lines. Overlapping lines may also

occur if print attributes such as Elongated (Double High), Superscript, or

Subscript characters are used on the same line. Printing at different horizonĆ

tal and vertical densities will not overlap.

Example

The following example illustrates 20/72-inch line spacing.
